I have a Razer wolverine V2 that I like quite a lot. But it’s not perfect though… I’m wondering what everyone else likes to use.

Damn, the stick drift as soon as you got it is unfortunate- I’m also surprised an open box product managed to be that defective. I remember getting a gaming laptop open box around 5 years ago, and from what I remember, it looked pristine and operated without any issues. I’ve recommended getting tech open box since, though with an experience like yours, I should probably temper my expectations and advice in the future.
But wow, I didn’t even know Razer had a controller selling for that much. That’s really steep. And yeah, I’m surprised as well more options don’t exist, though I suppose it makes sense that the top brands like Microsoft and Razer dominate a market that (from what I imagine) is rather niche, as most people stick to standard Xbox/PS/Switch controllers. It’s a shame modularity isn’t more popular when it comes to controllers, or other pieces of tech for that matter. It’s a real shame products like the Google Ara didn’t take off, since those are the kinds of modular devices I’d absolutely love to see setting a mainstream trend.
Best buy was the culprit… I feel like I’ve generally had good luck with open box stuff otherwise though.
You know, previous to the current generation of consoles, I thought FOR SURE that back-paddles/buttons would become the next standardized iteration. Controller innovation over the last TWO generations I’d argue, has been really lacking in my opinion.
Patience, I guess. I’ve been waiting for literal fucking years at this point. A few more won’t hurt I suppose.
The Ara definitely seemed like a good thing, for repairability. I’m of the ‘fuck anything google’ mindset though.
The ‘framework’ laptop also comes to mind.
